Power On First/Off Last Device?


Good people: I have a system with a tube preamp, power amp, dac and cdp. I know that I need to turn my power amp off first and on last and my preamp off last and on first. I realize this can be accomplished by actually pushing the power buttons on each device manually in te correct order, but as Americans we're too lazy to do so and seek to accomplish the above by flicking a single switch. Is there an inexpensive power strip which allows one to reverse the order in which devices are turned on and off? Thanks in advance for you help.

gentlemen:
1. the lazy americans i referrred to in my post are me and my family, not the other more conscientious folk on agon
2. to which end, the wife and kids cannot or will not turn down the volume on the preamp before powering off the system nor expend the effort to turn on/off the components in the correct order ( i do notice that, probably because i'm using tubes, i'll still get some power transients even when the volume is tuned down)
3. the adcom ace is precisely the type of device i'm looking for; i see that panamax/furman among others make similar conditioners w/sequencing
as ever, thanks for the feedback
thanks gbart. i did already order an adcom ace and will report results when i get it.
i received my adcom ace, hooked it up, and as wolf et. al, have stated, it works perfectly--i can wholeheartedly recommend it, or similar conditioner/sequencer. now if i can only find a device that (unlike wife + kids) puts the cds back in their jewel cases, all my problems would be solved. thanks again for your help.
